If you've driven past Newcastle Street in Northbridge at night then you would've seen the mile-long queue outside of Authentic Bites Dumpling. We've always wanted to try it, but just couldn't bear the thought of the queue. So, one particularly cold and rainy Monday night, we drove past and saw there was no queue, so I slammed on the brakes, parked and ran inside.
Prawn & Pork Wonton Noodle Soup ($11) |
Reading the menu, we wanted to try everything. But, we settled down and decided to order the wonton noodle soup to begin with. I usually prefer the dry wonton noodle, so this was a little different for me, but the noodle was nice and firm and the soup was flavoursome despite how clear and watery it looks. Most of all the wontons were delicious!
Pan Fried Prawn & Chicken Dumplings ($12) |
We then ordered the pan fried dumplings. We enjoyed this too, but not as much as the wontons in the noodle. I think the filling could've been tastier. But, this dipped in the vinegar and soy sauce was delectable.
Pork & Prawn Wonton with Spice Sauce ($12) |
As a last minute impulse order, we also tried the boiled dumpling with spice sauce. This was hands down the winner dish of the night. The wontons was the same as in the noodles, but drizzled with chilli oil and peanut sauce and crushed peanuts. This was very flavoursome and we demolished this dish in seconds. I highly recommend this dish!
So happy we finally tried this place and now we understand the never-ending queue out the door. It's tasty and affordable!
